Chapter 34: The Path of Evolution

Okay, the transition chapters that everyone hates are all over this time, and the story will return to the main story of fighting monsters. In fact, I had to write more to make the worldview of the work more detailed, but this week's results are really miserable. I have to give up, I've been really tired from work recently, and maybe the writing will not be as good as when there was a manuscript in the early days, please forgive me. But I'm going to stick with it anyway, and I want to find a balance between writing a book that makes money and a good book that I love, and I'm going to try to do it. It's also late today, good night everyone. Recently, please give some recommended votes to readers!

"Damn, I didn't expect that it was just a little cell on a meteorite that drove humanity to this point. I'm so unwilling!" Ma Kai said angrily.

"These alien cells have extremely mysterious powers, and I don't think it's appropriate to call them 'cells'......" Wendy said with a deep groan, touching his chin.

Mackay knew that Wendy was very knowledgeable and a maverick, and that he was probably going to start publishing his personal "insights" again. In fact, Ma Kai was not interested in these esoteric "big truths", but in order to listen to Wendy finish telling the story of that year, he didn't dare to interrupt him.

"There are also many single-celled organisms on the earth, which basically do not even have biological instincts, but rely on some of the most basic stress responses to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, just like a group of ignorant dust who only know how to divide and reproduce. These alien cells are not the same, they are cunning, they have a high degree of intelligence and unified command, they know how to wait for the moment and gather strength......"

"Is this really a simple cellular organism? No, I don't think it's, on the contrary, they should be advanced creatures that have evolved for more than 10 million years, are more complex than we humans can imagine, and have a level far beyond the earthlings! They degenerate into cells in order to reduce consumption in the face of adverse environmental conditions, but still maintain their original consciousness in a magical way, their consciousness even surpasses the physical body, infecting other creatures at the slightest opportunity, changing their genetic factors, and using their bodies to create powerful physical bodies for themselves. ”

"You say those cells smaller than dust are higher-level creatures than my humans?" Mackay asked cautiously, for fear that he had misunderstood something and made a joke. In this era, although the government only barely has the ability to provide the poor with the lowest education, Ma Kai still knows the basics of what a cell is. It's just that he really can't understand that those microorganisms that are lower than ants and bugs can be more advanced than humans?

"There is not only one path to evolution, and the standard of evolution has not been set by God, what is advanced? What is Powerful? None of humanity has ever been unified. In the old era when scientists were singing together, it was suggested that the evolutionary path of human beings may not be the most successful, even if it is not only in the earth's sphere, let alone in the vast universe! ”

"You say that human evolution was not successful?" Ma Kai was getting more and more shocked. Although his cultural level is not high, he has listened to those surviving old people since he was a child and talked about how great human beings were in the old era, how brilliant the human culture in the old era was, and how omnipotent the people's livelihood technology in the old era! As long as human beings are born in the old era, they are happy, and anyone who has seen the prosperity of the old era can understand what heaven is really like. Although Ma Kai has not seen the greatness of the old era, he subconsciously regards the greatness of mankind as a miracle of the universe, and has a sense of racial glory of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world". From the bottom of his heart, he thinks that human beings lose to those ugly, terrible, cruel alien beasts are like a rich boy who loses to a rogue robber, and all his property is looted, so he has today's downfall. But no one would think that rogue robbers were smarter and better than rich boys, and Mackay never thought that anyone would hear anyone say that humans were not as advanced as those savage alien monsters. In his opinion, those monsters are just a little stronger than the people, and the skin and flesh are a little thicker, can tigers eat people, and tigers are higher than humans? This is clearly not true! It's a pity that Wendy's next words are about to shake his concept.

"Do you think the evolution of humanity has been successful?" Wendi obviously saw through Ma Kai's thoughts, glanced at him obliquely, and asked playfully: "Then let me ask you, if the survival of species and the transmission of civilization are the first priority, is there a lot of flashy things that waste resources and energy in human beings?" For example...... This delicate skin? ”

"Skin?" Ma Kai looked at the skin on his wrist and didn't think there was anything wrong!

"If you're trying to survive in a natural environment, it's clear that this smooth skin isn't useful except for being good-looking. Do you think that if you change to a hard scale armor or hard shell, wouldn't the survival ability of human beings be stronger? No matter how bad it is, it has heavy subcutaneous fat and thick hair like a wild beast, which not only increases the ability to resist blows, but also improves the ability to withstand the cold. If you have such a skin, will the poor still die of cold? Are you still afraid of the sun's ultraviolet rays? Even primitive people in ancient times didn't have to risk their lives to hunt beasts in order to make fur coats! ”

"This ......" Wendi's words made Ma Kai speechless for a while, and he held back for a long time before he said: "But our human beings have a high level of intelligence, and we have created a lot of powerful weapons, even if we don't have very powerful combat power, but with these weapons, we can also defeat powerful opponents, and our mind is our greatest advantage!" He thought about it for a long time, and finally found a place to fight for humanity.

"Haha, it's the key point!" Wendy said with a smile, obviously Ma Kai's proposal did not convince him, "It is true that a developed brain is the proudest part of human beings, but such a developed brain is not completely impeccable!" The human brain has a high IQ in scientific research and war strategy, which is necessary for survival, and it is a matter of course; But why waste extra brain space on art, music, literature and entertainment? In the history of mankind, there have been many great musicians, great painters, and movie stars, whose social status is not at all inferior to those scientists and military strategists who changed the course of history, and even the benefits they have received are higher. From the perspective of the actual survival and development of human beings, the significance of these people may not be as beneficial as that of a farmer, what does this mean? ”

"This ......" In the face of Wendy's teasing, Ma Kai was once again speechless.

"This shows that the living environment of human beings has always been too comfortable." Wendy's voice suddenly became cold, "From the perspective of human history, except for the primitive man era at the end of the glacial period, human beings have been fighting against death and extinction, struggling on the edge of the survival line; Most of the time, Mother Earth has been too caring for humans. Whether it is ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, since the beginning of human civilization has written records, whether it is China's feudal dynasty, or the Western church rule, or even the African jungle tribes, human beings have never faced creatures that are more powerful than them, basically as long as they work hard, they don't have to worry about starvation, no matter how big the natural disaster is, it is impossible to have the power to destroy the country and the race, and the ruler should worry about the overthrow of the regime instead of always worrying that his kingdom will be wiped out by monsters overnight. And as soon as the people's livelihood and economy become a little richer, the ruling class will take the lead in starting to enjoy life, and music, art, literature, and other things that have no real value will begin to be admired by mankind, and even noisy! ”

"What's more, the technology and weapons you admire are just human beings who have given up honing their own bodies, and don't want to force themselves to evolve and take a lazy shortcut. Those alien cells can evolve from a protozoa into a scourge behemoth capable of destroying a city, and you should understand how vulnerable humans are once they leave their weapons. Can you say that humans are superior to them? These alien cells contain unimaginable power in their own right, and given enough energy and matter, they can grow armor that is stronger than the armor of the most advanced depleted uranium tanks, bone spurs that are more terrifying than artillery shells, and muscles that are more explosive than the most powerful engines. With this powerful life force, they can resist the most powerful nuclear weapons of mankind, and can sleep in the universe for hundreds of millions of years, such an amazing vitality, even if it is not in terms of combat ability, just to maintain the survival and continuation of the race, can you say that they are not superior to humans? ”

Ma Kai looked at Wendy in a daze, if Wendi's concept before was just that his personal intelligence was too prominent and made him stand out from the crowd, Qu Gao and widowed, what he said now can really be regarded as deviant.

"Think about it, if there were a creature that lived from the very beginning, in an abyss-like environment, surrounded by predators, and surrounded by powerful demons, the situation would be not much different from the hell described in the Bible. In order to survive, it must endlessly fight various predators and evolve to be stronger than them; Fight against the harsh environment day and night, and become strong and fearless of everything; It is impossible to have time for them to do anything like music, art, and literature, which has nothing to do with power, and all its time and thoughts keep getting stronger and stronger and stronger, strong enough to break away from their terrible planet, strong enough to conquer the stars of the universe. So what are the species that survive in such an environment? ”

“…… It's something even more terrible than the devil. Wendy's sharp eyes forced Ma Kai to answer this question, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said two words with great difficulty: "Demon King!" ”

"What a good word you use!" Wendy looked at Ma Kai in surprise, "How do you come up with such a great adjective?" ”

"The pastor in the community was taught by his grandfather, and he said that mankind will come to this point today because there were too many pleasures and extravagant life in the old times, so God was disappointed in mankind, and the demon king brought his monster army to rule the world, and only by regaining faith can he obtain God's salvation." Ma Kai rarely dropped his school bag, so he racked his brains to recall the pastor's words, in fact, these low-level children did not really believe in the church, but only listened to the pastor's sermon every week to get free bread.

Mackay never missed the opportunity to get bread.

"Well, the power of the Church has extended to the Asian Federation...... Wendy mused.

"Alas, Major Wen. Since these alien monsters are so terrifying and more advanced than humans, don't we have a chance to destroy them? Ma Kai asked in distress.

"Who says no? Have you forgotten that I said that these alien beasts are actually hive minds? They have an absolute head, and the queen bee of this monster is the embodiment of their will. As long as we can hunt this 'queen bee', then ......"

"Then you can leave them leaderless and left to fend for themselves!" Mackay surprises Wendy for a steal.

"No, I said that their population is not so fragile, and there is a will over all individuals to guide them. But as long as we can hunt this 'queen bee', we will definitely be able to inflict irreparable damage on them in a short time! As long as we human beings can grasp the opportunity for this opponent to collapse, attack with all our might, and fight desperately, we may not have no chance. Wendy also said with great ambition.

"Remember, that question you asked me at the beginning? The mission of our army is to hunt down that 'queen bee'! Wendy turned to stare at Ma Kai, his eyes sparkling with infinite fighting spirit!
